Example of Accounting of Interorganization Transfers Within the Same Business Unit
An interorganization transfer is a trade transaction involving the movement of goods or services between organizations in the supply chain. When the transfer occurs between organizations within the same profit center business unit, the transfer is always at cost and there is no intercompany invoicing.
Oracle Cost Accounting creates the trade events and they do not flow through Oracle Supply Chain Financial Orchestration.
The following is an example of accounting performed by Oracle Receipt Accounting and Cost Accounting for an interorganization transfer of goods between inventory organizations within the same profit center business unit.
Scenario
Inventory organization M1 makes a transfer of goods to inventory organization M2. Both inventory organizations are under the profit center business unit US West, which is under the legal entity US Inc.
Interorganization Transfer
The cost of goods transferred from M1 to M2 is USD 50 plus overhead of USD 10.
Analysis
Receipt Accounting and Cost Accounting create accounting entries for the transfer of goods.
The following figure illustrates those accounting entries.

Accounting Entries
Receipt Accounting generates distributions under business unit US West and inventory organization M1. Cost Accounting generates distributions under cost organization CO1 and inventory organization M1.
The following table describes the cost accounting entries.
